Terrific condition apart from a minor scuff to the on-off switch. Screen guard fitted from new. A superb camera - asking £210.00 ono for body only; payment by cheque or bank transfer. Delivery to be at-cost (should be under a tenner for Royal Mail Signed-For).

I had an *istDL2... it was OK, but I would hold out for a K100d or istDS unless its a bargain, i.e. less than 100 squids. The other two offer shake reduction (K100d) or pentaprism viewfinder (istDS or istD).

Damn, you missed out on a K10d for sale at 120.00 in the classified the other day! (Not to rub it in lol)

24mm is a great street / general walkaround length. I really like my sigma f2.8 superwide, really sharp right from the widest aperture so it's effectively quite fast. I always enjoy using it. It does great close ups too.

Someone's going to love that camera, a steal at £120, dodgy door or not.

No. 2 & 6 are really very nice! I concur with the others that as a whole the set shows room for improvement though. Looking at Andy Small's gallery shows how it is done. Lovely stuff.

The reworked pair now take it for me Andrew. The skies are sublime. Go easy on the sharpening though!

Now we know where you've been: out taking wonderful pictures! What a great idea

I like the shot of the guy on the bench, and holding the icecream in front of St Pauls! Kind of 'snapshot' style, but that's ok with me.

I had a lot of fun taking pictures in the park at our work's picnic. In fact not only did we take pictures, we *consumed alcohol* in blatant disregard of the signs put up by the council!

Our company designed the new water-play feature, new war memorial, and general park improvements.

Saying you're not a Rockefeller, why then buy a "FF" camera when an APS-C one will do the job?

Since you like shooting wildlife, your "FF" choice doesn't hold water. With the 1.5 X crop ratio, the APS-C format is a much better choice. And, beside, you should already have the long FA lenses that would give you the results you need. And, switching system, the latest Canon APS-C would be a better choice than a Canon 5D MkII.

As for exposure, the K7 is as good as any other pro or no pro camera on the market.

Welll...I can see how the high ISO excellence of FF cameras, and better AF than Pentax can currently offer, might be a positive for wildlife photographers.

So the current Pentax range don't offer the OP what he wants. Fine. Just seems a bit odd that he felt the need to go out of his way to share that with us.

I was told by SRS when I bought my K7 a few weeks ago the K7 was not being replaced. The K5 would sit above the K7 in the range.

I doubt that, somehow. At least after the final K-7's are sold. Can't see both cameras in production at the same time. Time will tell!
